Nancy Gertrude (Nee Luquer) Wallich of Macungie, Pa., died on Monday, Sept. 1, 2014 at Geisenger Medical Center in Scranton, Pa., after sustaining injuries from an accident at the family home in Damascus, Pa., Friday, Aug. 29.

Nancy was born in Spring Gardens, Queen, N.Y. While growing up, Nancy was an instructor in boating, lifesaving, swimming, and camping at Camp Ma-He Tu at Bear Mountain, N.Y.

She pursued her nursing degree at Wagner College on Staten Island, N.Y., where she would meet her husband Lawrence “Larry” Wallich, who predeceased her in 2002.

Nancy was the beloved school nurse at Union Elementary in Perryville until retirement in 1998. Nancy and Larry then retired to the Damascus property “The Woods,” where they enjoyed golfing, canoeing, bowling, hunting and fishing. Both were avid outdoors people, and proud members of the NRA. The Wallich home was known by all their friends (the truest always used the back door) as a place of hospitality, joy and love.

Survivors: Nancy is survived by her three children, Chris, Beth and Barb; son-in-law, Kevin; and three grandchildren, Jack, Michael and Ava.
